Gender incongruence in Denmark, a quantitative assessment.

Introduction: The number of persons with gender incongruence referred to health care is increasing, but national data on the incidence of gender incongruence are lacking. The aim of this study was to quantify the development in number of individuals with gender incongruence over time and to estimate the national incidence in Denmark.

Material And Methods: Historical descriptive cohort study.

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Intravenous, Intravesical, Rectal, Transdermal, and Vaginal Melatonin in Healthy Female Volunteers: A Cross-Over Study.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties and safety of melatonin administered by alternative routes of administration.

Methods: This study employed a cross-over design in healthy female volunteers. Twenty-five milligrams of melatonin was administered intravenously, intravesically, rectally, transdermally, and vaginally.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Patients Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair.

There are many ways to determine the success of an inguinal hernia operation. Traditional measures are hernia recurrence, neuralgia, mesh infection, or rather the absence of these complications. While these traditional measures obviously have their merits, alternative outcomes are emerging, and researchers and clinicians are gaining an increasing interest in patient-reported outcomes and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Patient-reported outcome measures for inguinal hernia repair are insufficiently validated: a systematic review.

Purpose: To systematically assess the validity of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair.

Data Sources: A systematic review was performed according to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guideline for systematic reviews of PROMs. PubMed, EMBASE and PsycINFO were consulted.

Multi-Photochromic Molecules Based on Dihydroazulene Units.

Multi-photochromic systems incorporating individually addressable switching units are attractive for development of advanced data storage devices. Here, we present the synthesis and properties of a selection of such molecular systems incorporating the dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) photo-/thermoswitch. The influence of the linker (meta-phenylene vs.

[Sex reassignment surgery in Denmark].

This review summarises the knowledge of sex reassignment surgery in Denmark. Sex reassignment surgery aims at confirming a transgender person's gender identity and can consist of surgery on breasts, genitals, thyroid cartilage, vocal cords as well as facial and body contours. In Denmark, most procedures are performed at a highly specialised level after referral to Center for Gender Identity.

Outcome Measures in Gender-Confirming Chest Surgery: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Background: The aim of this scoping review was to provide an overview of outcome measures in gender-confirming chest surgery.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and the Cochrane Library to find studies evaluating gender-confirming chest surgery in a non-cis gender population. The systematic scoping review followed the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews.
